If you need a crown, we will begin by meeting with you. It is important that we completely inspect your oral cavity with the use of a visual exam as well as advanced imaging technology, such as digital X-rays. We will need a detailed understanding of what is happening with your tooth to ensure a crown is the best restorative solution. Then, we will create a plan tailored to your oral health needs, which will begin with taking impressions (or molds of your smile) to provide us with blueprints for the creation of your crown.
You will wear a temporary crown while your permanent crown is designed and created. We will send your impressions to a trusted dental lab. At the lab, a master ceramicist will create a porcelain crown or porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crown, depending on your particular needs. The crown will match your surrounding smile for beautiful results.
During placement, we will bond the crown over your tooth for long-term wear. We will also make any necessary adjustments to promote a comfortable fit.
